Make sure that the maximum paging space is set to at least 2xRAM. It's a debatable rule of thumb, but a good starting place. On 2000, you right click the My Computer Icon, then properties, advanced tab and performance options.

Thank you

Good ideas Satan, also if you will click start, run, and type in msconfig you can stop those programs from starting up on your computer. But be careful and not cut off something you might need!

or click "start"... then click "help and support"... type virtual memory into the search field
and it will give you instructions on how to increase it... but the first way's the easiest

easiest fix ....
Check your system Tray- A lot of programs that people install, like Real Player or QuickTime, or an Instant Messenger, by default want to run in the background and put an icon in your system tray even though you may not need them to always be on. Eliminating as many of those background services as possible will free up the demand on your RAM....
...
go to the bottom right of your browser and start right clicking and clicking exit / disable/ close the icons . leave your anti virus and anti spyware running

A box keeps popping up saying my virtual memory is low. What is this? I have plenty of ram.
